Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged Western countries to outlaw blasphemy of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad thus globalising Pakistan’s blasphemy law.
The Anadolu News Agency reported that Imran Khan said he is going to launch a campaign seeking Muslim countries’ support to raise the issues of blasphemy and Islamophobia at international forums, including the UN and the EU.
‘When we begin a campaign by bringing together all Muslim countries [against Islamophobia and blasphemy], it will make a difference and change will come in the West.’
‘There will come a time when people in the Western countries will think twice before disrespecting the Holy Prophet,’ Khan went on to say.
Khan, in a series of Tweets, said: ‘I call on Western governments who have outlawed any negative comment on the holocaust to use the same standards to penalize those deliberately spreading their message of hate against Muslims by abusing our Prophet.’
